Congressional leaders agreed
to increase to $90 million
the funding for the federal
Nonprofit Security Grant
Program (NSGP) that will
help keep America’
s syna-
gogues, other houses of wor-
ship, parochial day schools
and nonprofits such as hos-
pitals, libraries and museums
safe against terror attacks.
The new funding level,
which comes as part of
Congress’
s Appropriations
package, represents
a 50
percent increase compared
to last year’
s $60 million
funding.
The NSGP provides grants
of up to $100,000 apiece
to nonprofits at risk of ter-
rorist attacks so they may
improve building security
by acquiring and installing
items ranging from fences,
lighting and video surveil-
lance to metal detectors and
blast-resistant doors, locks
and windows. Funding may
also be used to train staff
and pay for contracted secu-
rity personnel. Since 2005,
Congress has allocated $329
million for the grants, which
are administered by the
Department of Homeland
